Patriot Pride
October 7 - 14
28 Hours of Instruction
We are making our way through the middle of October already! Time is moving quickly, Homecoming Parade and Character Dress Up day are literally both right around the corner!
Please continue to be Intentional with your planning and lessons. We have a 4 day week this week and next, essentially 28 hours of instruction each week. Be sure to keep students focused, use every instructional minute, and deliver hands on engaging lessons. With back to back 3 day weekends, our instruction must be impactful so students will retain.
Parent conference night is next Monday, October 14th. Please schedule parents for a conference time to avoid having large groups of parents waiting in the hallway if at all possible. Our PTA is providing a Medici Pizza dinner for staff! Please thank our PTA Board and President Scovell when you see them! :-)
We are having a campus PD Day on Friday, October 18th. We will have a focus of PD on Inquiry and Exhibition, what these IB Frameworks look like in lower grades and upper grades. If you would like to present on either of these topics (one hour session), please let me know. Presenters will receive a One Week Jeans pass to use when they would like.
Please let me know how I can help or feel free to offer upgrades to me.
Onward!
